Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2409  Secrets

"Hey, you brat," before Fang Heng could speak, Li Shaoqiang frowned and interrupted, "Stop dragging it out and just say what you need to say."

"Punoze was suddenly attacked by the Holy Court, and everyone was on edge. Right now, the undead faction's reinforcements probably wouldn't arrive. We need to figure out a way to deal with the Holy Court ourselves..." Norbert glanced at Li Shaoqiang, paused for a moment, and continued, "Or find a way to escape."

"And then?" Li Shaoqiang urged.

"Do you all know the secret of the Tower of Bones?"

The secret of the Tower of Bones?

Fang Heng and the others exchanged glances.

Li Shaoqiang frowned and said, "Enough with the suspense. You know time is tight, so just spill it."

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. According to what we know, there exists a space within the Tower of Bones that leads to a special world. It has always been guarded by the various tower masters of the Tower of Bones. It is said that within that space, there is a seal containing death knights from the death realm."

"Oh?"

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow at this and couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt.

There was such a claim?

Why had he never heard Teacher Gu Luo mention it?

Fang Heng glanced at Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo.

Both of them looked equally confused.

It was clear they were also hearing this for the first time.

Norbert paused for a moment before continuing, "We suspect that the Holy Court's sudden invasion might be related to this special space."

"I remember hearing about it. I once heard that the Punoze world has a special passage, but I have no idea if it's related to the death knights..."

Tan Shuo recalled that he had indeed heard some scattered mentions of special spaces. He looked at Norbert and asked, "I'm curious, what do you all plan to do?"

"The undead faction has always been extremely cautious about this matter. We just approached the two tower masters of the undead faction, expressing our desire to check the sealed space and release the imprisoned death knights to fight against the Holy Court, but we were soundly reprimanded."

Norbert looked at Fang Heng and laid out the proposed plan, "We believe that the special space of the death knights may very well hide certain secrets. Right now, Punoze's situation is dire. The army sent by the Holy Realm is incredibly powerful. With only a few remaining deputy tower masters, we of the undead faction are fundamentally unable to contend with them."

The army sent by the Holy Realm is incredibly powerful. With only a few remaining deputy tower masters, we of the undead faction are fundamentally unable to contend with them."

"So we can only rely on ourselves to find a way into the sealed land of the death knights and investigate. Perhaps we can find something to deal with the Holy Court."

"In the worst-case scenario, we directly release the death knights from their seal to confront the Holy Court, seeking a glimmer of hope."

Li Shaoqiang listened and let out a soft huff, "You seem to know a lot about the death knight space. You must have been eyeing this for a long time, haven't you?"

Clearly, this matter was not sanctioned by the undead faction.

Although Norbert spoke grandly about it, upon closer examination, it did seem a bit like taking advantage of the chaos.

Norbert showed a hint of embarrassment at Li Shaoqiang's words and said, "We did conduct a lot of related investigations in the past."

Fang Heng furrowed his brows as he listened.

It was strange.

From Norbert's words, it seemed that Teacher Gu Luo was still sealing a death knight within the Tower of Bones?

"Everyone, if there is a power in the Tower of Bones that can contend with the Holy Court, this is our great opportunity." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Norbert looked at Fang Heng and urged again, "I won't hide it from you; in the past, the undead faction never disclosed information about the death knights and strictly limited anyone's entry and exit. Now, the situation is critical, and the instructors guarding the Tower of Bones are busy dealing with the Holy Court. This may be our best chance."

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo couldn't help but look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng hesitated for a moment.

"What are you waiting for?" A middle-aged player beside Norbert clearly seemed anxious, and his tone carried a hint of frustration. "The Holy Court has even sent people from the Holy Realm to attack us. We only have two tower masters here, and they're just deputies. Our strength is on completely different levels. It's a miracle if we can hold them off!"

"If we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves. Even if there's only a one percent chance, we have to try!"

The other players chimed in, "Let's say, for the sake of argument, that if we do nothing and the Tower of Bones gets breached, the sealed land will fall into the hands of the Holy Court, and the power of the death knights will be completely eliminated. It wouldn't make any difference for the undead faction."

"We just want to use the power of the death knights to deal with the Holy Court and secure a chance to survive. Is that wrong?"

"The undead faction doesn't care about our lives. Can't we find a way to survive on our own?"

"Enough, that's enough!" Norbert cut off the increasingly agitated young players, turning his gaze to Fang Heng. "Fang Heng, I know you may have concerns. If you're unwilling, I won't force you. I've already gathered many players to participate. With our team's current strength, breaking open the sealed space shouldn't be too difficult."

Seeing that Fang Heng was still hesitating, Norbert spoke seriously, "Fang Heng, please don't leak this matter to the higher-ups of the undead faction. Thank you."

"I understand. I'll go with you to take a look."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Fang Heng quickly made his decision.

Let's go take a look!

There wasn't much to gain from the front lines.

However, the secrets of the undead Tower of Bones had successfully piqued his curiosity.

Teacher Gu Luo had never mentioned any information about the death knights within the Tower of Bones.

Moreover, if such powerful forces existed, it didn't make sense for the undead faction not to use them against the Holy Court.

The whole situation was quite strange.

What if there was some hidden mission?

Seeing that Fang Heng had agreed, Norbert was immediately overjoyed.

"Great! There's no time to waste; follow me now."

...

Punoze.

The knight brigade from the Holy Realm that descended from the Holy Court had already breached several cities along the way and was quickly approaching the main city of Catantul.

The undead faction had also dispatched some teams to intercept them.

Several player squads were also involved in the effort.

However, after taking a distant glance, the player squads quickly retreated.

Good grief, this was an army entirely composed of divine favorites from the Holy Realm of the Holy Court.

From afar, they could see a mass of blazing holy light condensing together, and even at a distance, one could feel an intense heat emanating from it.

They couldn't fight back!

They were fundamentally outmatched!

They could only rely on the city's defenses to withstand the attack.

The player squads had no intention of engaging. After a brief look, they decisively withdrew.
